europeans. for indians africans a hitler, there were jews, gypsies, and slobs. naziism is truly convenient, mental, cynical justification for wiping out some cold inferior races and shamelessly robbing them at the same time. long before the 3rd rice appeared, naziism had been common in the west. the only one sane and logical thing to be done with a rarely inferior race. that is to exterminated h. g. wells, english author. all these racial ideas and anti jewish ideas were circulating everywhere in europe. and this led or helped to so called justify the grabbing of other people's resources around the world, including what is today the united states of america has it, has anything altered only the colors. i do not admit, for instance, that

the sun never set on the british empire. the colonies were where everywhere had this empowers far, far older than the nazis. i like the british people, they colonial policy was unthinkable to cut off hitler. yeah, fascism is always attributed to the 3rd race without mentioning help, other countries contributed to the idea team. this more start civil because she's most of the in the initial 5, she had work. but so few of the brindle doors that as the bundle long, fun, masked little trusts michelle and political regime talk to guy voss mannion by me. and i am precious specialist regime talk to god var,

on you on. and i'm trying to stay on the 20th century, so a confrontation between 2 opposing systems, capitalism and socialism. the example of the soviet union proclaimed equality a whole nations and all classes of society posed a threat to capitalism. united states and great britain were equally suspicious of the soviet union was communism that was seen as a direct threat to the democratic capitalist systems in the west. and so they were as uneasy with 7 years as they were with germany, 938. the austrian uncles, the petition of czechoslovakia and germany, poland, and hungary, the beginning of world war 2. having realized the danger in march 1939,
and the soviet union proposed an anti fascist elias to western countries. this i've been trying to rally the west, make a stand with them against fascism. they opposed munich. they oppose allowing hitler in his check this month. but nobody would do that. so wasn't just in 1939. when the soviet proposed and elias britain and france against hitler, it had been actually throughout the late last half of the 900 thirty's, that the soviets were pushing for that. had that happened, we could have stopped hitler. we could have prevented the holocaust. we could prevent the world war 2 because hitler was weak and he was weak. and he was bluffing. and assuming that the west was not going to stand up to him at the west was hoping and many elements in the west for hoping that he was just going to go east. and so in the thirty's,
the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the nazis. ah ah, the drug started as a way to come back, a great problem. what's the wonder? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that and there was a competence on form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest gets shot in the head
and found in a river like something else had to be happening. the the moscow negotiations between the u. s. s. r u okay, and france had stalled because at the same time london hosted secret anglo german negotiations. ready in exchange for the british empire integrity, the british greenland german march to the east. despite the absence of agreement, was given to understand that he was free to act, at least shouldn't worry about the west. when we speak of new territory and europe today, and we, let's principally think of russia, the colossal empire in the east is right. the dissolution of hitler. my income for
hitler makes clear and mine comes in 1925. that the real goal is to take over ukraine and going to the east against the soviet union. that was always the real goal. and your opinions understood that in some ways in poland, 2 was preparing to invade the u. s. s. weird handler. ah, the dismemberment of russia lies at the heart of the polish policy in the east. the main goal is to weaken and defeat russia from a report by the polish army, general staff intelligence branch. but handler had other plans that didn't involve poland as well. not as ruffle does in and enjoy our di rooms the event
go graphically during on damage for wanted. besides on those is does why the love it. there was just a journalist, young angle, god is curator at the museum of polish history and also the names of photograph y'all taught option a sport known dish lab. their voice speaking immune, sky, gravitational change in such just a good. you're going to go to cal paul actually been from the model phase one photograph. yup. so it's 5. you know, if it doesn't have to have part of sky by means he's storage now give about the reason what all him after playing nice fat, not social money. he started back in fact i but there were other fact to about which the west prefers to keep silent in the mileage off a ribbon truck, pat was only signed after all leading european powers that made deals with hitler.
1933 germany, france. u k and actually signed the full power act. $934.00, poland and germany signed a non aggression declaration. 935, c u. k. and germany signed a naval agreement 1938. the u. k. france and italy agreed to the petition of czechoslovakia between germany, poland, and hungary, $939.00 latvia under stony assigned non aggression ex. we'll germany as fox at our us and i and go from the front door to want. wendy's, of it on your knees, pushed him to marson. i'm from head to foot. isn't type done via the

Sure we've seen plenty of westerns lately ("3:10 to Yuma", "True Grit"), but it's been a while since we've seen a western with aliens. But now, Jon Favreau (Iron Man) brings us "Cowboys and Aliens." First things first: we need some cowboys...
And who better to play these cowboys than Indiana Jones and James Bond. That's right we have Daniel Craig playing Jake Lonergan, a cowboy who wakes up in the middle of nowhere and knows only how to speak and fight. It was almost the same thing we saw in "The Bourne Identity." All he can remember about himself comes to him in memories triggered by familiar places and feelings. Then we have Harrison Ford playing the rich and powerful Woodrow Dolarhyde. From trailers and posters of the movie, I went in the movie thinking these two would be a team from start to finish. What we actually see is Ford's character start as a villain type and evolve from there. He was the most developed character throughout the entire movie and was a lot of fun to watch. Then there was Ella Swenson (Olivia Wilde) who seemed to be a little clichéd as far as strong western women are concerned, but we soon realize that she is quiet different from past westerns. All of the characters (including some of the aliens) are really dynamic.
The movie is set in Arizona in 1873 and holds strong to the setting for a long time. You get the western feel of it and see all of the classic western elements. There are people fighting in deserts, bars, jail cells...and there was a lot of great violent action. And then the aliens come and you completely forget about the setting. But your okay with it because in the alien scenes, someone/something is getting stabbed or shot in the face. Which brings me to my next point...
The action scenes in this movie were what we should have been seeing ALL SUMMER LONG. If a helicopter is spinning out of control, I don't want to see someone imagine a roller-coaster that guides it to the ground gently (that's right Green Lantern, cut the crap). In the same way, if aliens come and invade a town and abduct most of the peoples' family members, I want those cowboys to hunt them down and find new and creative ways to make their body parts disappear. And "Cowboys and Aliens" did a really good job with that. I would say that it had a few of the best action scenes I've seen all year.
So "Cowboys and Aliens" was a really fun movie. Not the kind that makes you think really, or even one many people could relate to, but it was still fun in that it was gory when it needed to be, it was funny when it needed to be, and it was even emotional when it needed to be. It was just a really great summer action movie (which is apparently where Jon Favreau thrives). It was a great western with great sci-fi. And really, how many other movies can say that?


In this first post of the series I break down the why, the how, and the what if of using Book Creator in a kindergarten classroom.
The thought of teaching kindergarten makes me sweaty. Give me 32 fifth graders…no problem. But a group of small people all needing their shoes ties or arguing over whose turn it is makes my eye twitch. I used to let Kristin handle all things primary however, in my new role as a coach I work K-5 and it's been a goal of mine to spend more time with our littlest learners. Cut to an afternoon planning meeting where everyone is sitting in little chairs.
Present: myself, my co-coach for the school, two amazing kindergarten teachers, and a heap of inspiration.
Our question: What's the best way for kids to use technology to amplify their experience with hatching live chicks?
There is something so wonderfully Kindergarten about having live chicks in the classroom. So when we sat down to plan we talked through what the goals of this learning experience were, what we hoped students would get out of it, and what this might look like in a kindergarten classroom. Overall we agreed that we didn't want to lose any of the homegrown pieces that the students had done before like making signs and designing by hand. So we decided that creating a book about the experience where they could document both digital and hand done work would be perfect. This would also enable them to take video, record voices, and learn to work in collaborative partnerships due to their one to two ratio with devices. It also served as a way for kids to apply their learning from writing workshop all year and as a powerful sharing piece.
As we talked a loose plan began to form.
First, we would do a launching lesson where students would simply play with the app and discover what it could do. We chose this based on work we had done with first grade and our knowledge about the power of play as a learning tool in the primary grades.
Next, students would learn how to create a book with a partner and practice by making a cover for their book.
Then students would interview each other in order to learn about the video function of book creator and to add some additional content about the book.
After that we would explore how they could learn to be journalists and what types of artifacts they might collect to put in their book. In conjunction with that lesson we would begin to look at mentor texts and mentor tech so they could have a vision for what their book could look like.
Ultimately we would build it page by page, bit by bit, as the eggs arrived and hatched. And somehow at the end of it all we would find a way to share what the students had learned and connect them with an audience for their work.
We also brainstormed a list of possible anchor charts we might want to create.
We figured these would just be a start and that we would pay careful attention to what strategies would be support students as they moved along through the process. Next step, get in there and let those kids take charge!


Thousands marched in Boston today in opposition of a planned "free speech rally," which invited "libertarians, conservatives, traditionalists, classical liberals, (Donald) Trump supporters or anyone else who enjoys their right to free speech," according to a group calling itself the Boston Free Speech Coalition, per CNN.
Why it matters: Trump called for a "swift restoration of law and order" in his initial remarks about the Charlottesville rally last weekend. Today's response echoes that sentiment and, similar to his remarks on Tuesday doubling down on the "both sides" argument in which he only condemned the "alt-left," today Trump labeled the left-wing protestors as "anti-police agitators" deserving of "tough" police presence.


"I believe it's growing in popularity," I say, invoking my fatherly privilege to all knowledge.
Actually, Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy published a report in March 2013 that claimed Amazon Prime membership had more than 10 million at the time of writing. Shame I didn't have the use of Google during our discussion.
"But they get it for free?" He has a certain skeptical frown that develops during adolescence, when teenagers begin to discover their fathers are generally making up fatherhood as we go.
Big mistake. Remember: talking to teenager.
"It's still free, right?" Major teenage frown now.
"If you have Amazon Prime," I add.
It has taken me a while to understand the concept of Amazon's Lending Library, but the idea that I can get my book out there quickly is very tempting. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can indeed now borrow the ebook.
While there is no necessity, if you do so, please leave a review and help me convince my son and his father.
At The Walls Of Galbrieth will be in Amazon's KDP program until the end of 2013. Enjoy, catch up. Book 3 should be out any day soon.
UPDATE: Ashbar – Wycaan Master Book 3 was released today in paperback. Here is the link. The ebook should be available next week.

Broker spotlight: How one firm is giving back to the local community

Why charity and insurance make for a great combination
Broker spotlight: How one firm is giving back to the local community | Insurance Business
Many large corporate firms have entire teams dedicated to corporate social responsibility. But for smaller organizations, doing work in the local community and giving to charities requires some extra legwork.
For some brokers, though, that's all part of a days' work. Thurrock-based SEIB Insurance Brokers says giving back is in its DNA.
Following the launch of its SEIB Giving Initiative this year, the brokerage will be granting an impressive £100,000 to good causes in 2019. One winning charity will receive a grant of £50,000, while the remaining £50,000 will be split between other good causes.
The firm is asking the general public to put forward their nominations for the charity they would like to see win the £50,000 pot, with nominations open until November 30. Once a shortlist of charities has been drawn up, SEIB clients will have the final vote for their favourite project.

"At the core of SEIB is putting something back, it's always been the same. We are owned by Ecclesiastical and we've always supported different initiatives, but we are able now to do much more," Nicky Mackenzie, marketing manager at the firm, told Insurance Business.
Heavily involved in equestrian and equine insurance, the broker also has a number of charity initiatives centred around horse-riding. In the past eight weeks, it has also donated to two local hospices: St Lukes received £2,500 and Little Havens Hospice received £12,000.
With its efforts tending to focus on smaller charities, Mackenzie says the money can stretch further.
"Because we are often looking at small to medium sized charities, the money doesn't just disappear into a big pot – it's a capital investment that makes a big difference. For some of these small charities, £10,000 can make a huge difference," she said.
"We are a national broker, but we do pride ourselves on giving a local service and knowing our clients very well. It does help us to build a profile within the community too, and helps us to give something back to our clients," she went on to say.
By letting clients have a say on which charities receive support via the Giving Initiative, customers are able to highlight causes that are close to their own hearts – which means new charities can get some well-needed attention.
"We want to hear about charities we wouldn't normally hear about. We get to hear about charities that barely get any support, and that many people don't even know about. It's very exciting to be able to help these charities that aren't even on people's radars," Mackenzie said.
"My view is that it would be wrong for us to select the shortlist of winning charities as there are so many good causes that we don't even know about, that our clients would want to support. We need people to vote for them so that the money goes where it will really make a difference," she continued.
"We try and put something back and add value wherever we can for good causes. Giving something back is all part of CSR, and as you can, you should."

Two months after news broke that its previous hire opted not to take the job, the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, has found an interim leader. Today the school announced that it has tapped Susan R. Ewing, a metalsmith, educator, and arts administrator, to be its interim director.
Ewing comes to the institution from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where she has been a faculty member since 1981. She takes up a position left vacant when Christopher Scoates decided to step down to become director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. He ended his tenure in June, after four years there.
John Berry, a Cranbrook alum whose career has been in design and business, was named as a temporary replacement for Scoates in May, with the title of acting director, though in early June, Crain's Detroit Business reported that he had decided not to take the job, citing a family issue.
At Miami, Ewing has served in the roles of associate dean and senior associate and has been a university distinguished professor for more than a decade. She'll start at Cranbrook later this month.


Many of Microsoft'srecent major product releases have dealt with the company's scale-up strategyfor taking on Sun Microsystems and other Unix vendors. The next major rolloutfrom Microsoft may extend this reach into scale-up territory.
Microsoftintends to include full Itanium support in both the professional and serverversions of Whistler, the next generation of the Windows operating system indevelopment. While Redmond expects many of its first customers to purchase64-bit Whistler systems for design and engineering workstations, the companyhopes that the Whistler/Itanium combination eventually will become a standardserver platform.
"Windows isdefinitely viable on a high-end server platform, and 64-bit is just going toextend that," says Michael Stephenson, lead product manager at Microsoft.Stephenson believes the introduction of 64-bit capabilities into Windows willfurther the goal of Wintel machines in the data center.
Microsoft'scurrent plans call for Whistler to be released in the second half of 2001 --with client versions first then servers to follow.
UnisysCorp. is already testing an Itanium version of its 32-processor ES7000. TheES7000 is one of the flagship machines that supports Microsoft's Windows 2000Datacenter Server.
As withDatacenter Server, Stephenson says Microsoft may restrict the number of optionsadministrators have in selecting hardware for 64-bit Windows systems. "Thenumber of configurations on the 64-bit platform is not going to be as abundantas on the 32-bit platform," he says.
A number offactors will restrict the hardware configurations. Like Datacenter Server,Microsoft intends to certify hardware and drivers for 64-bit servers to furtherthe goals of stability. Driver and hardware conflicts are a major source ofsystem failures in Windows NT 4.0. Microsoft wants to ensure the stability ofits platform.
Second,Itanium requires software to be recompiled, and, in some cases, rewritten forthe 64-bit instruction set to run at full performance. Because device driversmust be able to talk to the metal, nearly all drivers will have to be rewrittenfor IA-64. There may be some lag time before a full range of devices have IA-64drivers.
Finally, itis not clear if Intel will push its Infiniband technology with the Itaniumrelease. Users may find that they have to use all Infiniband-based devices withthe new processor, much like users of high speed Pentiums recently were pushedinto using Rambus memory.
Stephensonexpects the adoption of Itanium servers to be slow when the processor is firstreleased, but expects that it will enable more users to turn to Windows inhigher-performance environments.

Missing SHS student found dead, family suspect murder
Source: Ghana I Nhyira FM I Ohemeng Tawiah I ohemengtawiah@gmail.com
Shocked residents at the scene
Residents of Ejisu-Jamasi woke up on Friday morning to the shocking news of the death of a 16-year-old student of Juaben Senior High School.
Family of Linda Akansaa, who suspects the second-year Home Economics student was murdered said she had gone missing for a week.
Her half-naked and almost decomposed body was discovered in a bush near an uncompleted building by a resident who had gone to clear the site of weeds.
Murder on Good Friday: Teenager raped, 'killed' in Ashanti region
Her death has left residents in fear as they continue to seek answers about what could have motivated the murder of the girl whose single mother has laboured to raise.
The late Linda Arkansaa
Narrating what happened, the family said she left home at about 5 p.m. on Friday, June, 14, to have her phone charged in a nearby house.
An announcement was made at a local information centre hours later when attempts to find or reach her proved futile.
Body of Linda is covered with Palm branches before police arrived
The body was found at about 5 a.m., one kilometre from her family house after a foul smell from the decomposing attracted the attention of a man who was applying weedicide to the bushy site.
The man (name withheld) told Nhyira FM he suspected it would be a dead animal until he finally found the body behind packed blocks lying face down.
The student's underwear and a pair of slippers lay a few meters away from the body.

I recently spent a largely sleepless night at a hotel, and out of equal parts curiosity and boredom, decided to kill some time scanning the guest network to see what my fellow travelers might be up to. As you'd probably expect, I saw a veritable sea of Samsung and Apple devices. But buried among the seemingly endless number of smartphones charging next to their sleeping owners, I found something rather interesting. I was as picking up a number of Amazon-made devices, all of which had port 5555 open.
As a habitual Android tinkerer, this struck me as very odd. Port 5555 is used for Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a development tool used to control and perform various administrative tasks on an Android device over the network or (more commonly) locally over USB. The number of users who would have legitimately needed to enable network ADB on their devices is surely rather low, so to see a half dozen of them on the network at the same time seemed improbable to say the least.
Why would so many devices manufactured by Amazon all have network ADB enabled? I realized there must be a connection, and it didn't take long to figure it out.
The somewhat awkwardly named "Fire TV Stick" is a cheap little device that you stick in the HDMI port of your TV to turn it into a "smart" TV. Ostensibly it allows you to stream content from all the big name providers out there, but realistically Amazon is hoping it will get you to spend more money within their ecosystem. For Amazon, the Fire Stick is to video content as the Kindle is to books: sell the hardware cheap, and make money on the subsequent content purchases.
That was the plan, anyway. But it didn't take long for people to realize that the Fire Stick was running Amazon's customized version of Android, and what's more, was particularly easy to install additional software onto. As you might expect, a huge community of Fire Stick modifications and hacks sprung up in some of the less fashionable parts of the Internet, largely focused on turning the Fire Stick into the ultimate device for illicit video content.
How do you install this software, you might ask? It's simple, and about a thousand different guides and YouTube videos will walk you through the process of "jailbreaking" your Fire Stick. All you need to do is go into "Developer Options" and enable "Apps from Unknown Sources" and "ADB Debugging". Theses handy-dandy guides don't bother to explain the dangers of doing this, nor do they caution the user to turn off these settings after they've installed the third party software of choice (usually Kodi).
The end result is a whole community of people using Amazon Fire TV Sticks in development mode, where anyone can connect to these devices over the network and gain full control over them. A potential botnet, created by willing participants.
To be fair, most of these Fire Sticks will never leave the user's some. In such a situation, while there's still no good reason to allow remote ADB on these devices, the risk is probably low enough that there's no great danger to leaving it on. But if you're using a "jailbroken" Fire Stick on a public network, such as a school dorm or hotel, you're asking for trouble.
It should be said that the Fire Stick does pop up a message when a device tries to connect over remote ADB. But it's not a terribly descriptive message, and certainly doesn't tell the user what this big complicated string of characters means. It doesn't even say that the connection is coming from a remote device. To add insult to injury, "OK" is the default action when the prompt comes up.
Frankly, it's a pretty terrible "warning" message for the average user. Granted this message was never intended to show up during normal operation of the Fire Stick (remember, you must first enable "Developer Options" to get to this point), but still. The majority of people will simply press the "OK" button as fast as possible to get this scary Matrix-code off of their TVs so they can get back to watching Netflix.
Once the user hits "OK", it's game over. With ADB access approved, an attacker would be free to install and execute their own software, wipe the Fire Stick, or do basically anything else they wanted.
If you want to go on the hunt for ADB enabled Fire Sticks, the first thing you need to do is identify Amazon-manufactured devices on the network. There are many ways you could do this, but a quick one-line from a *nix machine with arp-scan installed would look something like: sudo arp-scan --localnet | grep Amazon. This would find the MAC addresses for all the devices on the local network, then pipe that to grep which would search the results for the word "Amazon".
If it's on the LAN and was made by Amazon, that should get you it's IP address. The next step would be port scanning each of those IPs. Again there are plenty of ways to do this on different platforms, but nmap is always a good bet. Of course, if it's only one or two devices you could always just try connecting to them directly with adb connect and seeing what happens.
While tinkering with this concept I've come up with a Python script which scans the local network for potentially vulnerable Amazon devices. This script could easily be expanded to actively connect to those devices and execute commands on them (such as rebooting the device), but for obvious reasons I'll let that be an exercise for the reader.
This is a perfect example of why you need to be exceptionally cautious when following guides posted online. Whether it's due to ignorance or indifference, the individuals who create these clickbait "jailbreaking" guides for the Amazon Fire Stick don't adequately explain the risks of enabling "Developer Options", and the Fire Stick itself doesn't do much better in terms of warning the average consumer about allowing remote devices to connect.
It's also important to remember how sophisticated these "simple" media player devices are becoming. In the case of the Fire Stick, we're talking about a full fledged computer running Android, and all that entails. It's not outside the realm of possibility that your Fire Stick could be compromised with a Trojan horse style application, and then become a backdoor into your home network. What seemed like a cheap way to watch streaming movies could end up costing more than you bargained for.
TL;DR: Turn off remote debugging.


So goes the favorite catchphrase of San Miguel Beer import Renaldo Balkman and echoed by his Ginebra San Miguel counterpart Justin Brownlee. And once the PBA Commissioner's Cup finals tips off July 27th, expect a titular battle that is truly can't miss action.
It was only in May when Balkman and Brownlee were the formidable, hard-to-beat 1-2 punch of Alab Pilipinas in the ASEAN Basketball League. Together, they helped end the Philippines' five-year title drought in the regional cage league.
But come Friday night, both will have to put their brotherhood at the backburner for the meantime as they tread separate paths, going from allies to foes in their PBA championship chase.
Balkman, given pardon after the infamous "choking incident" in 2013, is out to complete his redemption before PBA fans. The 34-year-old former New York Knick has listed averages of 28.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.7 steals per game.
On the other hand, Brownlee, who endeared himself to the legions of Ginebra fans after helping end the Kings' eight-year wait for a title in 2016, have equally impressive numbers of 28.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 2.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks per outing.
In their first head-to-head, "Balkmania" and the rest of the Beermen took the upper hand with a 107-94 win in overtime over "Mr. Humble" and the Gin Kings last June 3. This time around, though, the stakes are higher and is raring to have the bragging rights over the other.
How the do-it-all reinforcements will go against and after each other is only one of the many subplots and drama about to unfold in the best-of-seven series.
Even Tim Cone, Ginebra's multi-titled tactician, is anxious to know the ending to both team's Cinderella stories this conference.
"It's ironic that we both got these guys late, we were both in the bottom of the standings when they came, and they brought us all the way back to the top of the mountain," shared the Grand Slam-winning coach.
Cone expects Balkman and Brownlee to first size each other up before really getting down and dirty in the series.
"Well, I'm sure in the beginning, there's gonna be little giggles and laughs between the two of them, maybe a few high fives, privately," said Cone.
And for Balkman, all he wants is to finally wrap up his unfinished business with SMB and help bring the Beermen a step closer to the elusive Grand Slam – a feat nearly realized by the team last season.
"It's gonna be a fight to the end. We're both trying to compete to win a championship, at the same time, we're gonna give everybody a good show," the Puerto Rican import expressed.


3. The above officers should be relieved by 30.10.2015 (without waiting for their relievers except those posted in Accounts Pay Bill Section who would be relieved on specific permission from ADC/ Accounts Pay Bill Section) directing to report to P&E Section and Appraising Main (Import), JNCH from where they will get relieving orders for joining concerned section. This will help in Centralization of records.
4. A compliance report of relieving of officers should reach to Addl. Commissioner, P&E by 20.10.2015 under the signature of DC/AC.
5. This issues with the approval of the Pr. Commissioner of Customs (General-), JNCH.


The follow up call to a journalist is often the most dreaded action any business owner has when getting publicity in the media, but it's the most important.
Journalists are always on deadline and their inbox is full of media releases so it's important you call and speak to them, usually 24 hours after sending that email.
You want to check firstly if they received your media release and if they didn't have it there to send immediately and talk to them about your story.
Many journalists might not respond to your media release because their inbox is swamped and they don't see it or they do like the story but simply got distracted.
If they run that particular story that's awesome but if it's not for them then talk to them about what stories they are interested in as it might just lead to publicity for you anyway.
And if you can't get the journalist on the phone because it goes to voicemail or just rings out then keep trying and don't give up because your efforts will pay off.

This is based on my experience. It has been working pretty well for me. I hope it will work for you too.
While some of the factors are related to each other, I will talk about them separately.
Each Store's popularity can be found in Menu > View Info > Store Info. Click ( or Tap ) on the little triangles to see different Stores. As you can see in the picture below, the green bar indicates Region population, and the pink bar is the Store popularity.
I like to think of Region population as the number of a particular type of customers living in that region, and Store popularity is the number of seats we provide for that particular group in our Stores. This saying turned out to be confusing, let's try something different.
We can see in the picture above, Student, Youth, and Businessman have pink bars showing after green. So they are set for now.
We have to work on Hswife, Elderly, and Tourist's Store popularity by adding some new items - read Tables and Decoration for more details.
Remodel the Store changes the region population.
Once you see the pink bars start appearing in all groups, you are all set for the first step. Later in the game you will have more money and more items available. When you upgrade your tables and decorations, the store popularity will raise even more naturally. But we are only talking about our first step here. It's more important to get all pink bars showing than, making one of them all the way up and leave some green.
It is important to serve good food. What I usually do is serving a Dish that has the highest Taste and Appeal stats. Having multiple Dishes on the Menu would bring up monthly cost. It is recommended to server one Dish only for each store.
It is a good idea to master at least one Dish in the Starting Menu, so you can get a good start of the game.
Staff Numbers - A larger Store requires more Staff.
The Skills - Skillful Staff serve faster.
4 Seats or 2 Seats?
Generally, 4 Seat Tables are better than 2 Seat Tables. However, if you start seeing people walking to the door and leaving straight away, it means you need to replace some 4 Seat Tables with 2 Seat ones. Some customers don't have many friends to go out with, they would only take the 2 Seat Tables.
And of course you want to keep some Counters. Special guests would only use those.
After you get Store Popularity sorted, Tables upgraded to 4 Seats, it is about time to think about getting Tables with higher Ranks.
You can fit more Furniture and Staff into a bigger size Store --> higher Store Popularity. I was able to have Rank 1 Stores in the 1st and 2nd Area. ( Sunny Village and Greenville ) without any expansion. I don't usually expand in those two Areas simply because I move them soon after they reach Rank 1 or I've discovered all the Chests, depending on what I wanted to do there.
If you have done all of above, then having Rank 1 Stores is just a matter of time.
Hi,is there a limit number for the expansion permit?
There is a limit but I can't remember the exact number. I do remember I had more permits than I needed though.
Pick a store, and then another window will pop up and you'll be able to choose a new location. Tap on the new location, if you have enough fund, the Assistant will take care of the rest.
hi Enna,how to get a new restaurant?how to get 'thing' to make a new restaurant?
You get the permission to move town when your first restaurant becomes number 1 in its region, if I remember it right.

Q: cout and cin repeating within a function in C++? The validatePlay function I've written is supposed to accept an entered character that matches a play type.
char validatePlay();

void getHandPlayed(char);

int main()
{

    char play= validatePlay();

    validatePlay();

    getHandPlayed(play);

    system("pause");
}

char validatePlay()
{
    char play;
    cout << "enter play (R)ock, (P)aper or (S)cissor ";
    cin >> play;
    while (cin.fail() || play != 'R' && play != 'P' && play != 'S')
    {
        cin.clear();
        cin.ignore(80, '\n');
        cout << "re-enter play (R)ock, (P)aper or (S)cissor ";
        cin >> play;
    }
    return play;

}

void getHandPlayed(char play)
{

    switch(play)
    {
        case 'R':
            cout << "Rock"<<endl;
            break;
        case 'P':
            cout << "Paper"<<endl;
            break;
        case 'S':
            cout << "Scissors"<<endl;
            break;

    }
}

It sort of works, but for some reason, the cout and cin appear twice no matter what I enter but it's only taking in the first char I enter. It ends up looking like this.
enter play (R)ock, (P)aper or (S)cissor S
enter play (R)ock, (P)aper or (S)cissor R
Scissors
Press any key to continue . . .
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here.

A: You call validatePlay() twice.
The first time is here:
char play= validatePlay();

The second time is here:
validatePlay();

You are only storing and using the result from the first call.

A: You have this in your main:
char play= validatePlay();

validatePlay();

What do you think that does?


So What Exactly Is Depth of Field?
Will My Pictures Look Like That?
The photos in the United States gallery represent some of the highlights of the different states I've visited.
In 2007 my wife and I took a road trip with our friends, the Flynns, from Las Vegas, through Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. We drove 3100 miles in two weeks, and the scenery was incredible.
The photos in this gallery reflect sights and scenery from four separate trips.

Medina Azahara (Madinat al-Zahra) or the "Bright City", for Muslims, was built on the hillside of the mountain range of Córdoba (on the Chabdál al-Arus or "Mount of the Bride") in the northwest of the city of Córdoba. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in Spain, and it was commissioned by the first Caliph from Córdoba, Abderraman III, an-Násir ("The Victorious").
Medina Azahara was conceived as the new headquarters of the caliphate and as the residence for the Caliph. However, it was not only a palace, but a real city with a complex urban organization, inside which the civil and military administration of the new State was carried out. The palatial city also became a symbol of the independence of the Umayyad leader from the oriental Islamic caliphates, the Abbasid from Damascus and the Fatimid from Egypt. With its building, Abderraman III confirmed that he accepted the title of Caliph, which he deserved, and everything that it meant: in the year 929 he proclaimed himself the highest political and religious leader of Islam as prophet Mohammed's successor and prince of the believers. As such, he deserved to rule and live in a monumental building according to the greatness and symbolism of his dignity.
However, in order to understand the importance of Medina Azahara, we need to understand that, although it is essentially an archaeological site, from an artistic point of view it is one of the most original monumental sites from Hispanomuslim architecture and Islamic art in general. This is due to the fact that neither its structure nor its decoration has been altered with later modifications. Therefore, the exhumed remains in the excavations allow us to have a very close idea of their look in the past.
Medina Azahara must, therefore, be considered one of the essential reasons why Córdoba should deserve to be appointed cultural capital in the year 2016 (although the Mosque-Cathedral should be enough reason), and this makes it necessary to focus on the promotion of the cultural heritage of Córdoba among the population of the city and also abroad. Apart from being "World Heritage City", Córdoba must prove its modernity when emphasizing its heritage to take the challenge mentioned for 2016. But this will only be achieved through the knowledge of our history and monuments.
Our aim is to provide the general public with knowledge about the historic and artistic heritage of the city in a pleasant, reliable and simple way both for the lay reader and for university students of Arts. Besides, we intend to provide with a great amount of quality graphic or photographic material, which is frequently present in research works whose access could be difficult for the readers or taken in situ.
Apart from this introduction, our explanation will include an approach to the history of the capital of the caliphate, "Córdoba in the 10th century". Afterwards, we will make a brief summary of the archaeological research about Medina Azahara. Next, we will include a general description of the site, followed by an analysis of the main remains found in the excavations, focusing on the most interesting artistic and archaeological aspects. Finally, we will provide important tourist information.
If you wish to know the palatial city of Medina Azahara, do not hesitate to hire one of our guided tours. We are experts in the interpretation of the historic heritage from Córdoba. If you have chosen to do sightseeing in Córdoba, choose a high quality option, choose ArtenCórdoba.

7-foot, 440-POUND GINGERBREAD HOUSE
Posted By: Jim Grace 0 Comment
Where? The Bellagio Conservatory Of Course
The most elaborate Bellagio Conservatory Holiday Display ever. The display includes a 440 lb 7ft tall Gingerbread House.
The Gingerbread House on display embodies the Bellagio Holiday Tradition, Craftsmanship, and Flavor.
The Conservatory's holiday showcase for 2022 is titled "Gingerbread Dreams, a Holiday Confection." Besides the gingerbread Victorian and the Fabergé eggs, the display includes 6-foot chocolate trees also created by Angibeau and team. A custom scent, "Gingerbread Dreams," will meander with notes of clove, cinnamon, vanilla and apple.
The Bellagio Conservatory, is where the Giant Gingerbread House Holiday Display shelters within a mammoth replica of a bedizened Fabergé Egg, separated from the attentions of seasonal revelers by an artificial pond.
Too tall to fit through the door.
The Gingerbread House is built on a foam undercarriage. Batches of dough were rolled out in sheets, then pressed with a mold to form surface details in the bricks and shingles faced in chocolate. Gingerbread clad in fondant forms the columns. A snowy turret crowns the house. Rhinestone icicles and faux gemstones trim the facade. Edible icing acts as mortar, holding things together.
Philippe Angibeau, executive pastry chef of Bellagio, led a crew of 10 that fashioned the gingerbread house, which is presented, along with the rest of the Conservatory display, through Jan. 1.
"We would work on it an hour or two at a time," he said, "depending on the business volume."
"It's fragile," Angibeau said of the gingerbread house, the largest he's ever assembled. "A lot of things fall off on the way to the Conservatory that we have to fix."
The house was going to be too tall to construct in the Bellagio bakery, so it was built in a special kitchen space whose door frame was removed to provide egress. The finished house stands 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide and weighs 440 pounds. When complete, the house was lifted by the pallet jack, then wheeled down various hallways, across the casino and into the Conservatory.
For the first time, assorted gingerbread cookies, chocolates, popcorn and other confections from the Bellagio bakery can be purchased at the display, in the alcove behind the south flower bed from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

KEYWORDS architecture firms / New York City
Nahyun Hwang and David Moon
Partners in life and in work, Nahyun Hwang and David Moon believe in the agency of architecture to address today's complex social, political, cultural, and environmental challenges. For them, the realities of contemporary cities serve not only as subjects of investigation, but as inspiration and a fertile testing ground for experimentation and transformation. Working between the borders of architecture and other disciplines, at vastly varying scales, their New York–based office engages diverse modes of practice, in many cases involving the public in different forms as a critical collaborator.

Nam June Paik Library: Inspired by artist Nam June Paik's artistic processes and his concept of "Random Access," N H D M designed a multifunctional spatial device and its context, which redefine the relationship between library users and information in this public art library in the Nam June Paik Art Center in Yong-In, a rapidly growing satellite of Seoul. The central structure "Library Machine" actively deploys the architectural and programmatic strategies typical of Paik's interior artificial landscapes.
Open Ground/Flux NJP Playroom: Also within the Nam June Paik Art Center in Yong-In, but completed several years after the library, this renovation project reconfigures 12,000 square feet of the existing museum and provides the public with new ways to interpret, linger, exchange, and inhabit the institution. Open Ground (1), the new entry floor of the museum, is designed around three large-scale programmatic zones. Flux NJP Playroom (2), on the second floor, is a space for user-guided self-learning and exploration with media-integrated custom furnishing.

Wolgok Youth Platform: Despite Korea's strong economy, almost a quarter of its population between the ages of 20 and 34 lives in informal, makeshift, and often below-standard homes. This ambitious venture, initiated by Habitat for Humanity Korea and a division of Seoul's local government, is an experimental co-living project that combines homes for low-income youths, job-training and start-up business platforms, and public spaces, including a branch library and a park. The project explores the notion of openness and sharing in collective-housing typologies while preserving individuality and intimacy and maintaining connections to the multiple scales and operations of the city.

Совјетски револуционарни календар је коришћен у СССР од 1929. до 1940.

Убрзо након Октобарске револуције 1917, Лењин је донео декрет о промени календара у Русији са јулијанског на грегоријански календар. Ова промена је подразумевала прескакање дана од 1. до 13. фебруара 1918.

Петодневна недеља

Почевши од 1. октобра 1929, експериментално је уведена нова, рационализована верзија календара. По њој ће све недеље имати 5 дана, сви месеци 30 дана, а преосталих пет дана године су уметнути као празници, не припадајући месецима ни недељама. Ти дани су били:
 Лењинов дан после 30. јануара
 Дани рада, два дана после 30. априла
 Дани индустрије, два дана после 7. новембра
 У преступним годинама, преступни дан после 30. фебруара

Укидање седмодневне недеље у корист петодневне је делом била антирелигиозна мера укидања Недеље као хришћанског дана одмора (по чему наликује на Француски револуционарни календар). У петодневној недељи, сви радници су подељени у пет група према бојама (жута, ружичаста, црвена, љубичаста, зелена), свака група је имала сопствени дан одмора, по боји. Намера је била да се побољша индустријска ефикасност избегавањем сталног прекидања радног циклуса услед "општег" нерадног дана.

Мада су радници по новом систему имали више слободних дана (један од пет дана, уместо један од седам), раздвајање у пет скупина је пореметило породични и друштвени живот, тако да се показало непопуларним. Поред тога, предвиђени добитак у ефикасности услед краће недеље се није показао у стварности.

Изгледа да је током овог периода у Совјетском Савезу и даље коришћен грегоријански календар. Ово је потврђено прегледом датума/надневака у дневнику Правда, званичним новинама Комунистичке партије, у којима је 1930. и 1931. фебруар имао 28 дана.

Шестодневна недеља

Почевши од 1. децембра 1931, враћен је западни распоред дужина месеци. Петодневна радна недеља замењена 6-дневном недељом ("шестидневка"), са заједничким даном одмора сваког 6-ог, 12-ог, 18-ог, 24-ог и 30-ог у месецу; 31. је био ван недељног циклуса и варирао је између радног и нерадног дана, уместо 30. фебруара. коришћен је 1. март.

У пракси је било тешко елиминисати традицију одмора на дан недеље. Радници су се често одмарали и недељом и новим даном одмора. Стара седмица је на крају враћена јуна 1940.

Година
Нумерисање година није мењано, али има неких случајева да је година називана "Н-та година социјалистичке револуције" с почетком 7. новембра 1917, што је видљиво на врху горње слике, или само "... година револуције", делимично видљиво на доњој слици. Ова фраза се јављала све до 1991. тј. распада СССР.
